Live from the Two Plus Two Studios - This week on the Pokercast: The gang is all back together and Bill Perkins joins us! To begin: Adam has been away on his golf trip with the boys and updates us on his tour plus a night out with MJ. We also answer the question would Donald Trump be a good poker player? In the news this week: Australian senate bans online poker, the Hellmuth media tour, a poker player caught over-selling in the Main Event, numbers from the WSOP broadcasts are in and the largest live MTT outside of the States ran in the UK. We’ve also got some 140 or less and Mailbag including an ethics question and some comments for the show.
Bill Perkins is our feature interview as he joins us to talk about his various prop bets with Adam, the Staples brothers and Joe Ingram. Bill also imparts some life advice and gives us an insiders look at the insanely high stakes home games in LA.
